2 ML res. ASSOCIATED CHARITY. The Work Bcarun for an Organization in St. Paul. Yesterday afternoon, between 4 and 5:30; o'clock, some twenty-fly/ gentlemen and : four ladies prominently identified with the i subject of charity in St. Paul, met in the j rooms of the chamber of commerce, to con- i sider the question of organizing an asso ciated charity association, or more properly speaking, perhapu, a sc-iety for organizing charity in St. Paul. Among tbose in attend ; auce were Right Rev. Bishop Ireland, Rev. I Dr. Daua, Rev. Robeit Smith, and other pas- j tors of church societies; D. W. Ingersoll, J. j B. Ludden, D. R. Noyes, A. S. Talmadge, i W. L. Wilson, Patrick Butler, John Bell, I Rabbi Wes"hier and EL H. Hart, secretary of I the state board of charities. Tbe meeting was organized by calling W. L. Wilson to tbe chair and the election of ' Mr. Hart as secretary. In answer to request Mr. J. B. Ludden I briefly explained the object, need and work ings of such a society as it was proposed to organize. Mr. Ludden said be Lad co per- | sonal experience in tbe matter. He bad, | however, as closely as possible watched the j workings of such organizations in other large cities in this country, and he believed there was a crying necessity for such an associa tion in St. Paul. Thoughtful people were confronted with and startled by the fact that pauperism was increasing much more rapidly in this country than the population. St. Paul presented no exception to this rule, and the problem that was forced home to thoughtful ! minds was as to the best means to meet, control and care this evil. The trouble with the present system of extending aid to the needy was that, from the detached and con- Hiding manner of doing tbe work, the aid I was largely misapplied, many of ! the least worthy securing assistance | from different source?, while others j really deserving were left to suffer. We j might say that pauperism was to a certain extent organized, while charity was not. The object of the proposed organization was to remedy this defect to organize charity by means of a central body, which, by co-oper ating with the city authorities and private charity societies, shall prevent Indiscrimi nate aud duplicate giving, to reduce va grancy by properly relieving deserving needy, and also by a watchful attend ance, encourage and build up a disposition among this class to help themselves. In the course of his remarks Mr. Ludden Bald that right here In St. Paul there had been actual death from starvation, and this too, notwithstanding the city paid out from $30,000 to $40,000 annually for relief, while more than that sum was expended by vari ous society charitable organizations. To show the effect of th» workings of such a society as it was proposed to organize, Mr. Ludden read from the report of the society in Worcester, Mass., showing that in five years the public relief had been cut down from $26,000 to 13,000, while in Providence, 11. 1., the reduction Lad been fully one- half. In Philadelphia the reduction bad been fully three-fourths,while street begging was almost unknown, and outdoor relief was virtually done away with. Bishop Ireland followed much in the same strain. He bad personally examined the workings of such an organization in Chicago and found that it was doing much toward checking the great evils of systematic and professional pauperism. There was a visible tendency, to pauperism in America. Iv Europe such a condition of affairs could not be remedied, but such should not, and need not, be the case in this favored country. True charity goes much farther than extending merely temporary aid. The crowning work of charily is to help the needy "to help themselves— that is, afford the idle and needy an oppor tunity to corn the assistance they want. In Buffalo and other cities where such organizations are in operation, wooil ytwla-iind-other means of employment are afforded. Continuing, Bishop Ireland said it-was terrible to think that in a city as rich as St. Paul, and surrounded by a rich and prosperous country, that then; should often be as many as sixty vagrants in the city lockup of a night. In bis opinion the evil had assumed too great a magnitude to be ?ontrolled, let alone remedied by society or i actached efforts, and that unless there should | be thorough and systematic co-operation as proposed by this organization the evil would continue to grow. Mr. 11. 11. Hunt said he had visited similar societies at Cleveland and Chicago, aud i found that they were having a very benefic- j ial effect in reducing pauperism and va- ; errancy, lie said it was not proposed by it, to take the place of existing charities, or in j any way to interfere with their work, but rather to organize and systematize the work. As a rule this central society does not distrib ute alms, bat its real aim and object is to j hi Ip the poor to help themselves, and also to bring about a closer relationship between ; the givers and the beniticiaries. Dr. Dana had no.doubt that there was a i general recognition of such a society In this ! city, the only question now beinz bow to get ] in operation. To that end he would move that a committee of nine be appointed to prepare and report a plan of organization at j a future meeting. Adopted. Borne question arising as to how the com- i mittee should be named, Mr. Ludden moved the chair appoint a committee of throe to se lect such committee. This motion prevailed and the chair named Bishop Ireland, Dr. Da:; a and J. B. Ludden. Both Bishop Ireland and Dr. Dana asked to be excused from service, but objection be ins: made the matter was finally disposed of by the adoption of a motion that the three gentlemen named select six associates to act with them, and to constitute the committee of niue provided for in Dr. Dana's motion. The meeting then adjourned subject to call. t Toy Trunks ! Toy Trunks! Mothers, don't forget to buy one or Garland's beautiful toy trunks for your little one. POLICE COURT RECORD. An Instance of Terrible Depravity De- ' yeioped in the Police Court Yesterday. In these merry Christmas days when tbe heart of mankind is pulsating with tbe great j doctrine of peace on earth and cood will to i man as first taught by the lowly Nazarene, it is sad to contemplate the fact that in hu man nature there exists au underlying ' strata of sin, cut on the bias if you will, but : risiug like the death's head at the banquet ! to mo:k the happiest festivities. The above j reflection naturally arises from the contem- ' plation of a phase of ajpirently inherent cusscdness developed at ttie police court yes terday morning. The case was that of Wm. Smith, a man of fifty rocky winters, an ac count of whose arrest on the charge of out rasing his stepdaughter appeared in a former Issue of the Globe. Tbe case came up for bearing at 9:30 o'clock, and the victim to the beastly outrage, a bright girl of fourteen J years, ' was placed on tbe stand. She testified that her stepfather, the accused, returned home last Saturday night intox icated; that her mother bad also been drink ing and that they were both in fact drunk; that some of the children were sick and that 6he and two of the younger children slept together up stairs: that about 1 o'clock in the morning the accused came up stairs and i after a while he came to tbeir bed, and put- i ting the little ones out, he got into the tied ■ with her; that he pulled the clothing from her person and accomplished his purpose. Win ess further testified that she had screamed ; with fear and tbat the accused threatened to kill her if she didn't keep quiet. Mr. Holmes, the counsel for the accused, j asked to have ■ the case continued on the ' grounds that he desired to call witnesses to , prove the character of the girl. The further ' hearing was continued to the 27th inst. The case of T. Brak, charged with having i been drunk and disorderly, was then called. Monday evening Brak boarded a street car at Fourth , and Robert streets and, being slightly under the influence, he insisted on j smoking his pipe; tbe driver and a couple of. lady passengers objected and In trying to eject him he fell against one of the windows and broke it He was committed for ten days. HUSSEY, TrLE MASHER. His Case is Called and He is Presented .With a 3oße{ray. The case of the State against Hussey, the ex-circulator of the Day, who was arrested on the charge of stealing the routs map of the publication, and whuss alleged efforts to sell the concern to a rival sheet, was called In the police court at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. At that hour the court room was filled with gamins who had been subpoenaed by the de fense, the scheme being evidently a shrewd game to have the. carriers In court ail after noon and thereby retard the circu lation or distribution of the paper. But Mr. Erwin, counsel for the prosecution, was up to enufl and be asked to have the case continued for tne reason tbat several of bis witnesses were not present. After some deliberation the bearing was sit for Saturday, Jan. 3, at 93:0 a. m. The best part of the . affair came afterwards; a few minutes alter the party had left the court room a boy en tered the room having in his band a band some bouquet; he enquired for Hussey, say ing that the nosegay was for him, and on learning that the masher bad departed be appeared greatly disappointed. Tbe flowers were placed on the desk of Clerk Fairchild who remarked that he was going to have a Xmas uilt after all. THE COURTS. District Court SPECIAL TERM.

To the Editor of the Globe: The beautiful snow has gladdened the hearts of the young aud the gay, as at last it has enveloped nature In the robe* of white fleecy Bbe.cn. Tin 1 winter so far has been very fine; no winds have shaken our frames, no bliz zard our nerves. It is true it has been cold the past two weeks, but not so cold as to in terrupt business or pleasure. Crookston Is lively with her splendid roller rink, which Is crowded nightly with the elite of the city and the mauy strangers visiting us. The present Joutlook is encouraging. Our Inge mill has sawed up an immense stock of lumber preparatory for spring trade, and al ready materially affecting the price, reducing it several dollars per thousand. This one is to be supplemented by a grist mill next spring of 400 or 500 barrels per day ca pacity, and several other manufacturing in terests are about to be initialed. Our district court bus been in 6es6ion for two weeks, and numerously attended by attorneys and suit ors from abroad, among others Judge Cox. A. W. Bangs, Selby Splelde, Esq.; of Grand Forks; Tyler, of Fergus, and Emery, of Minneapolis. Since the last term of court our fellow townsman Judge David Bower has removed to California, and settled at Santa Cruz. He is much missed in legal and so cial circles. There will be a strong effort to have this district divided by the legislature this winter, and it ought. Judge Sterns can not properly attend to the overcrowded cal endars of the courts, and it Is generally un derstood that O. P. will resign if the district is not relieved. Won't it be wonderful if the legislature did nut, and be did i The first in stance on record, and not likely to occur. Judge Reynolds, of this city, thinks be wants the place, but big HalvorSteenerson, senator, stands iv the way with his mouth wide open ready to take it in, Un a maelstrom swal lows a chip. The court has been an un eventful one, as a rule. " Your fellowtowns man, Mr. Dyer, of Dyer & Howard, had a case of some iuterest over a Dakota mort gage, about a piano taken by Mr. P. Dufour for fees, but, somehow or other, Judge Cox. Mr. Dufour's lawyer, sat down on it and it went nut. The most important trial is still on, it is tbe case of the State vs. Barrett, charged with attempting to kill a party who bad jumped his claim. He, or somebody else, filled the complainant and his wife full of bullets and buck shot. by firing through the window at them with gun and pistol whilst in bed. Mr. Dufour is conducting the defense with marked skill and ability. The party, whoever he may be, committing the deed, ought to be bung without a jury. Judge Sterns has decided that a non-resi dent lawyer (of this state) can not practise as an attorney in his district, and refused a gentleman from Grand Forks per mission so, to do, that makes the Grand Forkites look olui\ especially Cox, who has a large practice in this county. Our city will try to get a charter for a municipal court this winter and hope to get one that will stand fire better than Moorhcad or Mankato. Building has been quite brisk the past fall. I noticed a pretty cottage being built on the bank of the river by that old Wabashaw tinier, Wm. Box, whose thousands of friends down str< am will be glad to know he is hearty and prosperous. The late election has made us all Democrats. Yours, Reporter. A Card from nines Jlnguire. To the Editor or the Globe: St. Paul, Die.

PAUL DAILY GLOBE. TTEDKESDAY MORXING, DECEMBER, 24 1884 CATHEDRAL FAIR. In Aid of the Parish School— A Grand Harvest in the Christmas Tide- On Monday evening there was opened a charmingly arranged and a richly stocked fair at Market ball in aid of the prosperous ; and well conducted school of the Cathedral < parish, which, with the exception of Christ ' mas day and evening, will be open every day : and night this week, closing on Saturday evening. This fair Is in the hand.* of the youuj; ladies and gentlemen attending this , school and their friends in the Cathedral parish, and Father Sbanley at their bead is making it most tempting and enjoyable to all who may visit It, while the cause for which it is instituted should be»peak for it a gener ous patronage, notwithstanding it be holiday week. I: may be truly said that In its general and ornamental arrangement this cathedral school fair is very attractive, while the young ladies who preside at its booths, and dining tables, : and other features are not only well appear ! ing In face am) form, but of charming grace, modesty and courtesy. Tbe first booth at tbe left band side la en tering the ball Is quite extensive, and over its center is lettered "Vanity Fair." It is presided over by the Misses Julia, Mollie and : Mary O'Brien, Lizzie O'Leary and Annie I Kennedy. It is beautifully draped, and its counters are loaded with rich, rare and taste ful articles, among which is a bride doll, pin cushion, toilet set. ice and roller skates and a multitude of other arttcles designed for raffle. It Is bastioned with a candy stand, a hasty puddine well, at ten cents a dip, and here It is that every bachelor pars* Li* tec cents to Annie Kennedy to nat the drop on | what the "Bachelor's Secret" may be, and seldom goes off satisfied until be baa spent a ; dime with Jennie Panch for a peep at be r . wingless bat. Whoever knew a genuine fair without gypsy maidens to read the intrks of life on the hard palm ; till yon you would sometime* I have you pockets full of e<>U galore; thai the j I pretty maiden.you know loves you still, and j ■ that many days are to be, added to the list ; you have cither wiseir or foolishly spent, j Here such a Bohemian tent was presided | over in full costume by Misses Katie Smith, i Dollie Sloan, Stella Zenzius, Fanny S.uiiU, Viola Zcnzius and Minnie Gralbwoi, with tuc robe of the wild cat for a carpet, the boil- Ing cauldron and the imthicul parapbanalia for extracting all the secrets of too future from tbeir shell. Farther on is the candy and fruit stand j presided over by Miss Annie Lyons, upon which, in addition to a host of* toothsome sweets, is a beautifully bound family Bible, to be drawn by some fortunate number hol der on Friday evening. Next in order is a beautifully draped booth presided over by the Misses Lizzie and May Curumlngs and Lillie McGuire, on which are a rich assortment of donated gifts to tbe fair which arc to be disposed of by chance. Among these is a bride doll for the most popular young bachelor, for whom there are several earnest contestant*, a $.«» Shaw banjo, a student lamp, a plush jewel case, i hand painled panels), a p!ut>b mirror, a sofa cushion and a velvet rug, a silver castor and cake basket, etc., etc Across the hall way we came to the ele- I pant booth presided over by Mies Stasla Hit key, audited by Miss Nannie Eifan, - with a candy stnnd attached. A beautilul dressed doll bride for the most popular young man is nt this booth, together with many choice ar ticles to be disposed of by chance, among ! which is a beautiful toilet set donated by the j sitters of St. Joseph's academy, a painting , of the Immaculate Conception, a wall ban ner, a cake basket, aud pickle castor, etc. The next booth is tbat presided over by Mrs. J. Abern assisted by the Misses Julia Cummings and Anne Casscrly, tbe lcature I upon which is a most richly embroidered foot rest and a pin cushion donated by tbe Sisters of Visitation. These with a three piece Kensington painted toilet set and an oil painting representing a Chriatlau martyr I are to be disposed of by chance, -while a bride ! doll will be voted to the most popular little cirl. Also attached to this booth is a well i stocked randy table provided over by Miss Nellie Cummings. ■ Next in or.li comes Bcbeeca and her j well, with Miss Julia Curatuing* waiting for ' the thirsty Jacobs whom she delights to serve with that which cheers outdoes not inebriate. It is a little of a give away on the Jacobs to ' say that her elegant oriental costume com bined with tier charming presence seems to i fairly divide honors with any liquid in her bucket. Tbe next booth Is that of the Misses Ellen and Mary OKeefe. on which is a line display of elegant article* of fancy work and where is shown a $55 organ to be voted to tbe mo~t popular fireman aud a doll to the most popu lar commercial traveler. Other attractions in the mnln hall are a beautiful al-iisrh and a !)j ffalo overcoat which j which will be put up at chance, a wheel i»f fortune and an arrangement for weighing j and taking the height of a person at the same time. In tbe Market hall proper dining apart- , ments, the ladles have spread luxurious tables « furnishing meals at all hour*, which arc pre : sided over by Mrs. McCulloucli assisted by ! the Misses Kerwin, Burke, O'Connor, O'Brien, Kelly, Fitzpatrick, Doughcr, Howard and Callaban.

Second Sight of th* V.—ton Ural Test irml. Tbe is an enchantment in the old operas as in tbe old songs that does not seem to exist in many of the more modern,' catchy productions. At any rate, tbe former are regarded by the • people with an - affection bordering on love, and the magic of their charm seems to bloom perennial. The opera of tbe "Bohemian Girl" is one | of the few famiiiar composition ofs which the I the people never tire, and in what recent opera are to be found so many of the pare gems of melody; such tender senti ment . and fond romance, and such a spirit of rollicking -burner withal. Tbe justice of the rejections were fully at tested by the reception given the opera" last nicht as presented at Uie Grand by ttie Bc« --tuu Ideal Opera com piny.

The prospects of bringing about a restora- | tion of east bound passenger rates are still . very poor. The general passenger agents of ] the ro«ds running east from Chicago held | another met tin-; to see if an arrangement could net be made by which the rates could be restored and maintained. As already re- \ ported, the agreement made about a month ■go by the rcncral pastensrer agents was not i ratified kf the managers of the Grand Trunk ' because it contained provisions which they th cucbt would injure (be Interests of their road, as well as those cf the Weal Shore, tiie : principal connection nf the Grand Trunk. It appears that the principal objection of the | Grand Trunk to the I agreement is the provi sion abolishing entirely the payment of com- I missions. .TbcGrandTrunk wants this pro- j vision so raodifi'il that commissions may be 1 paid. The discussion at the meeting showed that all the roads with the exception of the Lake Sbore and Michigan Outral were will ing to agree to tbe change demanded by tbe Grand Trunk. But the representatives of the Lake Shore and Michigan Central were not prepared to enter into an agreement that permitted the payment of commissions. Owing to the inability of Mr. W. P. Johnson, general passenger agent of the Lake Shore, to be present tbe meeting, adjourned until next Monday, when the question will be further considered. . If the payment of com missions should be allowed the differential fares will be abandoned and rates by all lines made alike, as tbe roads having* Interior facilities are cxpt-clpd to reguMe business by the amounts of commission they will pay.

The schools of the city closed yesterday for the holidays, school opening again on Janu ary 13. This will give all a chance to renew their tired energies, as during the session just closed there has been a lanre amount of hard work done. The examinations have proved this, as the answers given to the severe test during the past week show that the pupils cave worked hard. There will be considera ble promotion, notwithstanding the severe test. Hon. E. W. Durant and Mr*. Durant ar rived borne from New Orleans st noun yes terdsy. At Chicago they were joined by their son Edward, who will spend his vacation in this city. Mr. Durant was so busy with busi ness yesterday that hardly a word e..uld be got from him. He says the World's exposi tion st New Orleans is a big affair, but the exhibits are not nearly yet in place. Min nesota shows up as well as any state, and in many things surpasses them. John O'Gorman,the tramp, who is an occu pant of the calaboose, wants to eel out. so be can eat his Christmas dinner In St. Paul. Judge Burr, of that city, told Judge Netheway on Monday that he was clad be was in Still water, as be was a nuisance J to the police force of St. Paul, and was a constant boarder at the public expense. However, five of the days he will be here be will not cost much, as be has bread and water for his diet. He is in for twenty-five days. The boom company's meeting this after noon will no doubt be a lively one, as Mar-' tin Mown carries the right and left bowers besides the joker, the first time he has bad such a strong band and be will no doubt play it for all its worth. There is every probability that be will cause several decapi tations, and that berths will be open for them to fill. He claims that the directors have been rubbing it In too thick on him of late year*, and that fair play id a jewel. To night will tell the story. Last evening we saw a new light in the New Idea saloon, and it appears to fill the bill better than anything yet. It is from gas in a cluster jet, and the light is both steady and strong. It certainly has not the bright ness of the electric light, but many would prefer it for its steadiness and cheapness / only costing a cent and a half an hour. Sev eral who saw it prefer it to the electric light, and intend to put it in their places of busi ness. See it at P. S. Deragicb's and then call and enquire terms from Nels N. John ston, superintendent of the gas company. •.-..: On Monday night the electric light was of no use, as soon after starting in the evening,' a valve gave out in the engine and it was" rendered useless for the time being. Last Saturday evening was the only time, sjuce the works were moved into the city, that the lights were steady and good, bat much of un steadiness of the light may be attributed' to tbe way in which the carbons are put In posi tion, as great care has to be exercised in their adjustment. Gas.and lamps were in request, and It is the intention of quite a few to quit using the electric light on account, of its uncertanity. ■■■■... Yesterday Mr. Sam Jadd, of the firm of Walker, Ju.ld & Teazle, was in the city and informs us that the firm is all . right on its feet again, that their men are ail at work get ting out logs,' that whatever little-s eizures had been made have been settled, and "that ..'the firm has been placed in a position to realize upon their propertp to pay every cent owing by them. This is good news, and not only will the people of Marine, who are more di [ i»**'- ;»u>r»»ijfd, bat all and toe valley of the St Croix, be pleased to learn that the old firm with which they have done business for so many years are put In a position to weather the financial stringency of the past year. At the meeting on Monday evening of the members of the Ancient Order of Hibernians full arrangements were completed for the presentation of "Ten Night* in a Bar Room" on next Monday evening, at the Grand Opera bouse. The boys have among them some extra good talent, and no doubt it will be presented to the public in a creditable manner. The play, although old, ctn bear repetition, and there will be a full house, as fifty cent* giws seats In any part of the house. The benevolent order is doing a good work and has a claim as such upon our citizens. Tnis will be a hard winter, and owing to unforeseen circumstances, some of the mt-mbrrfc or their families may require assistance, so the trtasmy of the society should have a goodly amount in it. Give them a full house. The fresh young man who is reporting for our city daily must surely have got all sense knocked out of him a few days ago. In the Monday even ing's issue be criticises the Glove ! on the reliability of its news, and advises M jto copy from bis infallible writings. This we would not dare to do, as it is dillicuit to tell when the folks are putting up a job on Urn. When he characterizes the crime of : carrying deadly weapons a* "arson," and ibatJnuge MrCluer nj sitting on the bem-h here trying cases in a special term, when the learned gentleman was in Rid Wing attend in: court, our readers may easily know what dependence can be placed on such reporting. We will continue, as formerly, to give the ; people of Stil!wutt:r news upon which they may depend, and worli for the prosperity of the city, Our labors have been appreciated, and we thank the citizens of Stlllwater for the grand support they have given the Globe. I M. G. Bjr^uirJt. wuo was formerly fore man of the foundry department for the Northwestern Manufacturing <& Cur company some time ago showed siirn* of insanity, and was tent to the St. Peter asylum, from which I be was relt-ssed«sonje two months ago, ap parently cured. A few days ago he showed j signs of a return of the attack, and would sit i and mop.- for hours. It was not supposed ! that he was as bud as form* rly,and no watch was kept of him. On Monday night he left home, and was teen by several parties in the city, who were surprised at seeing htm out so I lightly clad. As he did not return at bed ( tune a search was instituted, but he was not i found until yesterday morning; about s o'clock, and then lie was chilled through and '■ had both hands badly frozen. Dr. Marshal] ha* done all he possibly can for him, but be cannot yet sjv Low serious the case is, or whether bis hands will have to be amputated or not. The cage is a sad one, as he was a man of more t . in ordiuury ability, intellect ually and otherwise. 27»» Courts. MUNICIPAL COURT. {Before Judge *Nethew»T.J ~* Then* was a goodly atteudance yesterday morning at the municipal court, as the cases which were to be brought up were of interest. The first case called was that of Adolph Lendcnean, who was up for being drunk and disorderly and paid $5 and costs. Swtrn Sanqulst, the one who had the fu«s with Charles 800 and drew a revolver on him, was then called, when C P. Orrgorj appeared for him. He said thai no damage bad been done, nobody hurt, and there was no loau in the pistol, so he thought it would be better for the court to dismiss the charge of "carrying a dangerous weapon to do grevlous bodily harm," and that his client would plead to "simple assault." The court took this view of the case, as the next court of competent jurisdiction would not sit for a longtime, and the county would be tut to large expense keeping him The sentence was $15 and costs, ami as the authorities had to go to Red Wing after him, the costs amounted to much more than the fine. At this rate his $300 check will not last long. George H. Hiltz, who had a variety of stolen articles in bis possession, next took the rostrum. This young fellow whs deliver ing goods for Isaac Staples, and while doing so took toll of what he could catch. lie boarded himself at the burn where be kept the delivery team and took butter, bam and other things to help the board out. The • articles were tided and he was hue 1 $50 | and costs or sixty days in the county jail. He took the latter. i /"""I IRL wanted for irenem! housework. Apply VT to Ueo. D.

Chicago, Dec. 23. — Win. J. Gallncber, nnder indictment here for alleged participa- I tion in the Eighteenth ward election frauds, j was arrested l:iis afternoon for an allejsd i forger)* committed in Philadelphia. The dis trict attorney here, objected to the removal of Gallagher, aud an order of the federal court was issued directing that he remain in custody of the United States marsual here pending bis trial. A warrant of the federal court was served upon the detectives who had Gallagher under , arrest, but they refused to deliver him, show ing a warrant from the governor M Illinois, issued on a requisition from the governor of Pennsylvania as the paper* under which they held him. This was reported to Judge Blodgett, of the federal court, who declined to take further action . Later in lbs day Gallagher's attorney and bis bondsmen went before Judge Williams, of one of the state ' courts, and represented tbat Gallagher was being wrongfully b»;ld. Judge Williamson issued a writ of habeas corpus returnable to morrow. The legal opinion seems to be that Gallagher is properly nnder arrest and will have to go to Puiladelphia. His handwrit ing in the alleged forced notes and in his letter have been compared with that in the forged tally sheet and they are pronounced identical. Crocker's lowa Brigade.
